Admin assistants are safe
What about the back office functions like administrative assistants for field sales (B2B's etc) will there mass lay offs or is it going to be regional?
Staples will take the lead, expect Depot to lose most back office functions. They did it with the Corporate Express merger, accounting, purchasing, IT and bids and quotes. Expect to see director level and up to be cut also. Any place there's overlap will be shed. Most accounting and IT is in India or outsourced. My advice, get the resume in order and get out of Depot if you're employed in the back office functions. Good Luck to all, you're going to need it!
